RIinneapOIIs RTiIIers.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Aug. 1.-THE
Northwestern Miller says: Notwith-
standing the serious manner in which
low water interfered with operations
this week, the mills did not allow the
-four output to fall off any, steam be-
ing effectively used to make up the de-
ficiency in the power, The total pro-
duct of the week was 139, 500 barrels,
averaging SO, 270 barrels daily, against
139 800 barrels the previous week, and
l2l, 40 barrels for the corresponding
time in 1856. The waterpower is irregu-
lar again this week, but on the average
has been little better than a week
ago. Most firms have a good list of
orders on hand, and their mills are
being pushed as much as it is practi-
cable with the low water, and the pro-
duct at present is close to 23, 600 bar
rels daily. Quite large sales have been
made during the past week, buyers ev-
identity desiring to stock up with old
wheat flour, and millers have become
firmer in their views and advanced
prices about 10 cents per barrel. Even
under these circumstances the market
seems to retain a firm and healthy
tone, and although not as many sales
are being made there is considerable
demand for flour. The foreign market
is stronger and considerably improved

An Elevator Accident.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-The falling of
an elevator in G.. Sedimberg & Co. Is
building on Mercer street this morning
resulted in the death of one woman,
the injuring fatally of a man and
slight injury to about adozen girls. at
a quarter before 3 o'clock, John
O'Neal, the elevator boy, loaded the
elevator to take a number of operators
to the upper floors, and about
eighteen female hands got on board.
When the elevator had got to the
third floor it began to descend
and all O'Neal's efforts to stop the
car were unavailing. The safety
catches failed to work, the car increased
its speed and crashed to the basement.
Several of the passengers had tainted
and one woman, Mrs. Jones Lynch,
aged fifty-five years, was dead. Her
body was frightfully mangled. 1t was
found that O'Nea1, the elevator boy,
had sustained a fracture of the spine;
and will die. The seriously injured are
as follows: John O'Neal, elevator boy,
spine broken; Lizzie Dougherty, right
leg broken; Mrs. Lizzie Buyers, Green's

The mexican Central strike.

CITY OF Mexico VIA GALVESTON,
Aug. 1.-THE strike on the Mexican
Central road seriously interferes with
the running of the trains, about fifty
engineers having left their loco
motives with their fireman. The
officials of the road are hiring all the
competent men that can be found.
Freight will be kept back from the
United States until freigt hengines can
manned. 1t is reported that some of
the strikers now regard the movement
as a bad blunder, and the question is
beginning to be asked if Suter who
issued the order for a strike as chief of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers for Mexico did not usurp
the authority belonging only to Chief
Arthur. Officials of the company say
that the cause of the strike was
frivolous and that they cannot give
in an inch, having already acceeded to
all reasonable demands. Public
opinion does not sustain the strikers.

Fight for Freight.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 1.-THE
Minneapolis Market Record to-day
says: There have recently been sey-
eral meetings of the Northwestern
freight men in st. Paul, held to con-
slider freight rates between Mime
apolis, st. Paul, Duluth and points
common to two or more of roads rum
ming west from them. The chief cause
of discord is the grain rate. The Man
itoba is about ready to issue q new
tariff sheet, making the tariff from all
points west of the Minnesota and
Dakota line the same to either Mime
apolis, st. Paul or Duluth. The North
ern Pacific has joined in making that
rate, which takes effect August 25.
The existing tariff of both roads
makes a differential in favor
coming in direct competition with
either of the Minneapolis and st. Paul
roads. That differential amounts to
some two or three and one-half cents
per 100 pounds. The new rate from all
its points in the James River country
is 20 cents to either Minneapolis, Du-
luth, or st. Paul against 23-cent rate
to Milwaukee, and the Northwest from
the same places. The difference in
and Minneapolis or Duluth is from q
per cent. to 40 per cent. in favor OF
Minneapolis. The Duluth wheat mar
ket is usually a cent to three cents
higher than Minneapolis prices. Will
rates the same wheat will go wherI
prices are highest. The other roads
have not yet formulated plan to NEE
the new conditions. The prob
ability is that it viii take bite
freight war to settle the question.

night and rub him with soda in water, strong

sicians, until no less than six had attempted
to cure him, all alike failing. and the child
